#1670 Creating lock directory failed during application start

[Carsten Grohmann]

Hi Task Coach Developer,

Task Coach is failing to create the lock directory Z:\Carsten.tsk.lock\MyWinLaptop.-32c412636.

Z:\ is my personal CIFS share. I've full access to this share and create and delete all files - also within Carsten.tsk.lock.

The issue is reproducible even after I've deleted the top level directory Z:\Carsten.tsk.lock.

That's what I found in the log file:

    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "taskcoachlib\gui\iocontroller.pyo", line 125, in open
      File "taskcoachlib\persistence\taskfile.pyo", line 660, in load
      File "taskcoachlib\persistence\taskfile.pyo", line 639, in acquire_lock
      File "taskcoachlib\thirdparty\lockfile\mkdirlockfile.pyo", line 62, in acquire
    IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: u'Z:\\Carsten.tsk.lock\\MyWinLaptop.-32c412636'

Installed Version:

• Task Coach Version 1.4.3, January 31, 2016, installed as a portable application
• Windows 7 Enterprise SP1

Please solve this issue and provide a new official release.

Thank you,
Carsten
